But that's not sustainable. Are they buying a new one every month? And how many people in the smaller cities are doing that?

I cannot believe that there is enough trade in luxury watches to support the number of stores in every damn mall in the country. The Tag store, Breitling, Rolex, etc.

Just a reminder that 15 years ago, there were no waiting lists over 18 weeks, no 12-hour A&E waits, no waiting an hour for an urgent ambulance, over 90% of cancer patients started treatment within 2 months, and everyone could see their GP within 2 days....

Then we got the Tories
